Author Notes: This is a quick and easy brunch recipe. It's adapted from a recipe by Domini Kemp. It's a great base for loads of different toppings like smoked salmon, blue cheese, ham or crab. I've been using this as a base for using up Christmas leftovers. You can also make mini pancakes to serve as a canapes. - Canalcook

Serves 4

8ounces frozen peas

1 egg

3ounces flour

65milliliters milk

60milliliters cream

1 finely chopped banana shallot

1teaspoon lemon or lime zest

salt and pepper

2.5ounces feta

2.5ounces cream, creme fraiche or cream cheese

1tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (e.g. mint, parsley, chives)

Iberico ham, sliced

Cook the frozen peas for 1 minute or so in a pot of boiling water until soft.

Submerge in cold water to cool and stop cooking.

Meanwhile, mix the remaining ingredients together in a large bowl and whisk together to combine, seasoning well.

Add the cooled peas and blend with a stick blender.

It’s ok if some of the peas aren’t completely blended and have a bit of texture.

Heat some neutral oil over medium heat in a large frying pan.

Drop tablespoons of the batter into the frying pan (it doesn’t spread out too much and keeps a nice shape).
